I have also seen some similarities between the two, as far as how they look on the ice
Neither one of them were 100% that age for those seasons but alrighty.
… almost like you could just compare that straight up)
Not sure if you understand how hockey birthyears and minor hockey work. Matt Coronato being a 2002 birthyear plays with all the 2002s every year growing up. Most of the 2002 birthyear (January 1-September 15) is 2020 Draft eligible, while a minority of them (September 16-December 31) have to wait and thus are 2021 Draft eligible. So, as a result, Coronato gets an extra season of hockey to inflate his resume prior to being drafted. Granted, like I said, you can make the case because he's a November birthday and thus one of the youngest in his hockey birthyear grouping, he had more room to grow and used that extra year to offset some of the loss of being younger growing up in minor hockey.
Sure but it’s not how they set up the draft.
How is that different from any other year? You you are expecting to find first line players at 15OA, you haven't been following the draft.
Igor Chernyshov come on down...
A lot of scouts will have had time now to get togeter and Bobs next list will be changed quite a bit. I expect Hage will be somewhere around 20 given how he ended the year but I could be wrong obviously.
You misunderstand me. My expectations for 15OA remain the same.
I was looking at EP, so I assumed they had the most recent up to date list. I think MzKenzie's final list already came out so that's why I was surprised. But maybe EP hasn't updated it.
Maybe it's not his final list, because Iginla at 16 will be great pick for wings
I would love to move our 15OA for a top line forward. I just can't think of any objective reason why it is likely to happen. If we don't want it, I am not expecting someone else to REALLY want it. Who knows. The draft will be here soon enough.
His final list will come out the week of the draft. He released a top 15 at lottery time jut to get people talking but it also likely wont be the same 15 as he releases in June
Agreed. Hoping to package multiple picks and prospects to hoodwink somebody, but not holding my breath.
Bro go watch highlights from the U18s. EJ Emery has 1000x more untapped potential than Cleveland.
Agreed. I'm not anti hage and MBN would also be a solid choice. And sorry if I got the wrong guy, but someone had Hage top ten in every talent/skill category. So, if true, definitely a top 5 pick, even with the expected pro-rated bust factor included.
Sorry, I certainly don't mean to minimize the effort that some go to, in order to promote their guy, I often do same. I would simply like to point out, that Larkin would likely go much higher in a redraft. So if this Larkin/Danielson hybrid is there at 15, great!!, I'll take 2. So like I said above, if what I'm hearing is true, then he will be a steal at 15. A STEAL!!!! I do apologize if I insulted anyone previously, or came off sarcastic, it was not intended.
Again. I am not anti hage!!!! I merely made a comment to a post that made him sound like a slam duck top 5 pick. I didn't throw out any pejoratives against him or his game, nor did I make an ad hominem attacks against the poster.
